I've got a speed6, too. Its mostly stock, just a mazdaspeed CAI. I love the hell outa this car. the AWD isn't the best but it helps with the corners and on the dirt.
Hey question guys i just bought a mazdaspeed6 and im going to start modding it soon but i was wondering why is it so hard to break 400 hp on the speed 6 but the speed 3 i see a lot of them at 400 or over? is it because of the fuel system or ecu? once again i been lookn around and still dont see any at 400 ar real close to it. Thanks ..
@mps679 dude its rare to see a speed3 over 400whp let alone the speed6. unfortunately the speed6 has a fairly inefficient transmission it would take at least a gt30r on prob around 25 lbs. to make that. you'll also need a built motor. and a GREAT tune these motors are pretty finicky. its always easier to make more power to the wheels in a fwd vs a awd. less drive train loss.
I'm just using off the shelf (OTS) maps from COBB right now. I'm working on a custom FMIC and will custom tune myself after that. Another dyno to come soon with a 3071, new exhaust mani, EWG, ETC.
well TMIC and FMIC are very comparable when cool. The issue is heatsoak as im sure you know. Just saw the autoexe TMIC on a mazda site and it was VERY expensive compared to mine .
Well obviously TMIC is gonna get more heat soak. Driving temps are VERY comparable, I was seeing 100-115 with the AUTO EXE while my buddy was seeing about the same with his CPE FMIC. With meth there's no difference.
Yeah I understand. What im trying to get at is why the autoexe TMIC is worth 1000 bucks . Looks nice but my ETS seems like it would do the same thing for half hte price. Just curious because ive never seen someone who actually bought the autexe tmic. Regardless great numbers.
I wouldn't say a washing machine. After I upgraded my rear engine and rear diff mounts, and deleted the balance shaft I'd say it's increased, but no where near a washing machine haha.
I see :). Ive only got a rear engine mount and it definately increased the vibrations with A/C on. Still getting more drivetrain lash then I want. What mount would you recommend next? I don't want one thats hard to install.

@shizzel122 they made enough amount of the car to participate in some races around the world. As always, the reasons why some cars are very limited.

@its2realj if it's on a wheel dyno, it's at the wheels. if its an engine stand dyno, it's at the crank.

i want your mapp!!! lmaooo
sp33dy6 2 years ago
You can have it, it's on cobbs website. It's not even a custom one. The stage 2 93 + TMIC I think
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
holy shit you have the autoexe TMIC. Thats the super, more expensive than a FMIC, TMIC . . . . is it good ?
thegarbageman21 2 years ago
Comparable to CPE's FMIC that my buddy has locally. It's great.

well TMIC and FMIC are very comparable when cool. The issue is heatsoak as im sure you know. Just saw the autoexe TMIC on a mazda site and it was VERY expensive compared to mine .

Haha. Worth $1200? No. Worth more than the ETS? Yes
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
Very nice. Was that a mustang or dynojet?? Im getting my speed dynod this weekend on a mustang dyno. Hopefully around 265ish (without tune / DP)
thegarbageman21 2 years ago
Dynojet, I should be getting another one soon too.
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
yea full 3inch turboback yess, but what test pipe what downpipe what exhausts
sp33dy6 2 years ago
There's no test pipe. CPE down pipe and Corksport CBE-check the more info tab all the mods are listed.
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
so you have the stock test pipe or what?
borlarex88 2 years ago
Everybody keeps asking me this. The CP-E catted down pipe replaces the test pipe...so no.
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
alright thanks we dont really refer to that as a test pipe on a wrx since i think there's only one dp which isn't full
borlarex88 2 years ago
what testpipe did u use?
sp33dy6 2 years ago
Full 3" turboback
buddyholly3122 2 years ago
Sick car. Im running 280 awhp in my speed but im still w/out downpipe. Holding on to my warranty until it expires.
Just wondering . . . does your car vib like a washing machine at idle ?
thegarbageman21 2 years ago
I wouldn't say a washing machine. After I upgraded my rear engine and rear diff mounts, and deleted the balance shaft I'd say it's increased, but no where near a washing machine haha.
